Orkin recently released their annual list of the most Bed Bug infested cities of 2014. Not surprisingly, Chicago has taken the top spot for the third year in a row. While other cities have been seeing a reduction in the amount of bed bug infestations that they have experienced, Chicago still shows signs that their problem is not going away anytime soon.

It is interesting to note that Dallas, Seattle, Milwaukee, Charleston and the Grand Rapids all had significant increases in the number of Bed Bug occurrences, while Atlanta, Boston and Miami all had significant drops in the amount of reports.

These changes could reflect some of the proactive measures that the cities are doing to try and contain the issue of bed bugs among their residences.

The city of New York has continued to see a decline in the number of Bed Bugs reported since the big spike a few years ago. One of the reasons for the big decline in bed bugs reported was some of the measures that were implemented to ensure that landlords would put measures in place to prevent bed bugs from entering the building.

New York should be applauded for their continued reduction in the amount of Bed Bug occurrences throughout the city.

Here is the full list of the 50 most Bed Bug infested cities in America:

Chicago

Detroit (+2)

UT scholarship hopes to tackle bed bugs

Posted on January 30, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- East Tennessee pest experts have made a huge donation to help future students learn the best way to tackle the problems.

The University of Tennessee Institute of Agricultures Department of Entomology was given two $25,000 donations assist in its Urban Entomology graduate program.

The graduate-level entomology program, which focuses on dealing with bugs and infestations that affect people and their property, will be supported through a $25,000 support fund as well as an endowed $25,000 scholarship.

"Everyone's effected by pests in and around their home and it's nice for the industry to really help us to help them," said Karen Vail, University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. "So they're going to be providing us a student, but we're going to be addressing the issues, the difficulties they're having controlling pests we're going to try to find some solutions for them."

The support fund has been named in honor of Vail. Her research was recently acknowledged by the Entomological Society of America-Southeastern Branch through its Distinguished Award in Urban Entomology.

One of the biggest problems for experts is bed bugs. The students will do a lot of research to help come up with ways to rid homes of the problems.

"They're great hitch hikers, so they can hitch hike as you travel and in our area we've had a lot more travel from people all over the world," said Ray Johnson, Johnson Pest Control. "Bed Bugs, We are controlling them every day they are a national problem."

For more information on how to support the programs, please contact:
